s.waits Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 You might be a longarmer: When the top priority in your search for a new home is whether or not there is a room large enough for the machine, even if it's the master bedroom, you can always sleep in a smaller room. When there are spools of thread in every room, drawer, closet in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 You might be a long arm quilter when: your fabric stash is all over the floor.. you stitch thru the head of a safety pin and the needle is still sharp. You want to run himself out of the quilt room, where he thinks he knows more about the quilting than I do. You learn to say no to the guild, friends and family that want free work when you have jobs waiting. You develope tunnel vision and only see the quilting machine/frame When food becomes unnecessary. Love all the afore mentioned reasons.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'll add--you might be a longarmer.. If you refuse to hem pants, sew on buttons, or repair clothing. If it doesn't sew on the Milli, it doesn't get sewn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
